Abstract:
A method for producing raw sugar and ethanol which includes the steps of: heating and clarifying a plant origin sugar juice; concentrating the clear sugar juice so that the Brix value of the clear sugar juice is 15 to 50%; cooling the syrup to a fermentation temperature; fermenting the syrup, thereby selectively converting the saccharide components other than sucrose in the syrup into ethanol; and concentrating the fermented solution.
Abstract:
A process for manufacturing of sugar products having desired levels of specific phytochemicals comprising the steps of: preparing a primary sugar product; analysing said primary sugar product for its phytochemical profile using an analytical method selected from the group consisting of near infrared spectroscopy, electrical conductivity, and combinations thereof; comparing said profile; treating said primary sugar product, if required, to achieve a final sugar product having desired levels of specific phytochemicals.
Abstract:
A brown sugar substitute containing a high intensity sweetener, molasses, and a food grade crystalline sugar or sugar alcohol. Compositions containing the brown sugar substitutes and packaged forms of the brown sugar substitutes are also provided. Further provided are methods of making the brown sugar substitutes.
Abstract:
A brown sugar substitute is disclosed. The brown sugar substitute comprises sucrose crystals, a fat and molasses. In one embodiment, the sucrose crystals are coated with the fat and the fat coated sucrose crystals are coated with molasses.
Abstract:
Homogeneous, solidified molasses can be successfully obtained by concentrating under heat molasses, oils and fats and/or higher fatty acid esters at a temperature of between 110.degree. and 175.degree. C in the presence of alkali in such an amount as to regulate the pH value of the molasses in the range of between 8 and 12.
Abstract:
The invention relates to extracts, in particular non-nutrient phytochemicals, form sugar cane or sugar beet waste products, such as molasses, sugar mud and bagasse, which have Glycemic Index (GI) lowering properties and their use as sweeteners and in foods containing sugar.
Abstract:
A brown sugar substitute containing a high intensity sweetener, molasses, a food grade crystalline sugar or sugar alcohol, and at least one anti-caking agent is provided. Compositions containing the brown sugar substitutes and packaged forms of the brown sugar substitutes are also provided. Further provided are methods of making the brown sugar substitutes.
